Are you constantly battling worry, fear, or unease? Do you feel like your anxiety is compounded by cultural experiences or the immigrant experience?


Convenient Online Anxiety Therapy in Texas

Are you experiencing…

  • Overwhelmingness by expectations to be a “model minority”

  • Constant worry about disappointment family or not living up to cultural standards

  • Anxiety about balancing traditional values with the American lifestyle

  • Struggles with perfectionism driven by the pressure to represent your cultural positively

  • Stress related to academic or career, driven by family expectations

  • Difficulty expressing anxiety due to cultural stigma around mental health

  • Feeling like you’re constantly “on edge” in social situations, unsure which cultural norms to follow

If these resonate with you, you’re experiencing anxiety through the unique lens of a South Asian/East Asian American or immigrant. It’s a complex journey, but you don’t have to face it alone.

  • Navigate social situations with confidence, bridging cultural differences

  • Challenge and reframe anxiety-provoking thoughts related to cultural expectations

  • Find a balance between honoring your heritage and pursuing your personal goals

Our approach to anxiety treatment recognizes and honors your cultural background while helping you find relief and balance.

  • Develop realistic coping strategies that align with your cultural values

  • Learn to set value-aligned boundaries with family while maintaining respectful relationships

  • Improve self-esteem and reduce imposter syndrome

You don't have to let anxiety control your life or compromise your cultural identity.

Our Team

At Intentional Therapy PLLC, we specialize in providing culturally-attuned, non-traditional therapy for BIPOC individuals, particularly those from South and East Asian backgrounds. Founded in March 2021 by Parthi B. Patel, a first-generation South Asian American, our practice understands the unique challenges faced by first- and second-generation individuals, such as bi-cultural identity struggles and intergenerational trauma.

We’ve created a space where you don’t have to explain your culture—our therapists ‘just get it,’ because we’ve lived it.

We have since expanded our practice to include other mental health professionals. Each of our therapists has unique areas of specialization and expertise, allowing us to collaborate and provide a range of care to individuals, couples, families, and organizations.”
